Suicide and why people make the decision to die

The highest suicide rate in this country is from 75-84, many old people find themselves useless, friendless and unable to cope with pain any longer. Young people can make a huge difference to the elderly by talking and paying attention to them.

Suicide seems a strange topic in a chapter about family, yet we should understand that in many cases family and the breaking up of a family is one of the main reasons people resort to suicide. If anyone you care for shows prolonged symptoms of withdrawal or snappishness just talk to them about their situation and tell them that you love them.

"Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain."

Children to parents

There is usually no problem when a parents opinion on something is seen to be correct from a child's point of view- only when a child believes it to be completely wrong, problems arise.

Things such as drinking, sex, drugs, curfews, friends and grades can bring arguments into a family because the parent and the child have different views on the matter.

Parents often have a better idea about sex, money and getting along with people so most of the time children should talk to and listen to their parents because they have had more of an experience then all of us. Having a discussion with our parents can sometimes be a battle and very much of a struggle.

2)Where is the quotation from? It is extremely interesting and I would like to see it in its original context

It seems to drift away from the subject in your last two paragraphs where no link is made to suicide.

Hope you dont regret asking for the comments. Please feel free to do the same with anything I write, can always do with constructive criticism. Sometimes a person is too close to their writing and is not getting their message across clearly.

I agree with diamondize1 with his 2 notes there. Also, I didn't realize old people had a high suicide rate. I thought it was teens from 13-18. I even recall reading it somewhere that teens who feel they are "outsiders" or undergo some type of truamatic ordeal, lose the will to go on and try to commit suicide.

And as I look over your last two paragraphs again, they look extremely out of place.

You didnt cover your topic very well. Less that 250 words is not enough to properly explain what you set out to. It appears that you never finished this essay. I recommend revising and extending and backing up your point of view as well.
